Hugh Jackman's 10 Best Movies

Hugh Jackman's 10 Best Movies
Hugh Jackman is a versatile actor, best known for playing Wolverine in the X-Men film franchise. As a movie star, Hugh Jackman is best known for his almost twenty-year tenure in the role of Wolverine in the X-Men movie franchise. However, he’s done so much more than that. Since his roots are in musical theater, he’s appeared in some of the rare movie musicals that still get made post-Golden Age, and he’s also provided solemn turns in cerebral thrillers that cut the audiences to their core. In short, he’s an actor with serious range, and while it’s sad to see him leave the role of Logan behind, it’s exciting to see where his career will go next. This video consists of 10 best Movies in which Hugh Jackman surprised us with his acting skills.
10. Happy Feet
While director George Miller is mostly known for creating the Mad Max franchise (and then revitalizing it in the modern day in one of the rare cases of a creator rebooting his own franchise in a satisfying way), he created a different franchise that’s as far-removed from Mad Max as it could possibly be: Happy Feet. When movies like Surf’s Up and March of the Penguins and Madagascar were getting made, Hollywood became inexplicably obsessed with penguins for a while. Happy Feet stood out from this trend as a soulfully animated, heartwarming tale. It rivals Pixar’s quality without trying to emulate its style.
9. Prisoners
Prisoners is one of the finest and most intense thrillers in recent memory. Hugh Jackman, as the father of one of two girls who have been kidnapped, desperately seeks their captor, even resorting to torture. Jake Gyllenhaal plays the unconventional, Rust Cohle-esque detective who is assigned to the case and takes an interest in Jackman’s mysterious character. Denis Villeneuve’s typically deft direction makes it feel like walls are closing in on the viewer as the characters get more tense; Roger Deakins’ Oscar-nominated cinematography is breathtaking as always; and Aaron Guzikowski’s screenplay contains more than a few surprising plot twists.
8. X-Men
Along with Blade and Spider-Man, X-Men can be credited for kicking off the superhero blockbuster craze that now dominates multiplexes across the world. Bryan Singer unwittingly set the template for ensemble team-up comic book movies like The Avengers and Justice League with the first X-Men movie. It introduces all the characters and their relationships with one another, as well as giving them a common enemy to fight against. Hugh Jackman has said that he was almost fired from the first X-Men movie, but managed to keep hold of the role after being encouraged to trust his instincts by his wife, and the rest is history.
7. Eddie The Eagle
Underdog stories in the sports movie genre are ten a penny, but the most special ones are those based on real underdogs who overcame impossible odds to succeed. Taron Egerton stars as Michael “Eddie the Eagle” Edwards, who in 1988, became the first athlete to represent Great Britain in the Olympic ski-jumping event in 60 years, while Hugh Jackman co-stars as Bronson Peary, an alcoholic and former champion American ski-jumper who initially encourages Edwards to quit, but ends up helping him become a British sporting legend. Egerton and Jackman have terrific on-screen chemistry, which makes this an unforgettable movie.
6. X2: X-Men United
The great thing about superhero sequels is that with the origin story out of the way, they can just dive right into the action and develop new conflicts from there, beyond the standard “Am I cut out to be a superhero?” internal debate. X2: X-Men United follows this formula, with the X-Mansion getting.
5. TIE: Bad Education
While Hollywood usually doesn’t indulge the autobiographical screenplays of comedy writers whose names aren’t Judd Apatow, this year’s Bad Education starring Hugh Jackman is drawn from the high school experiences of its writer and co-producer, Mike Makowsky. It just so happens that Makowsky’s school has a place in history, as it was responsible for the largest public school embezzlement scandal of all time (while Makowsky was a student there), and that’s the main event covered by the movie. There are dramatic elements, with this being based on a shady true story and all, but it also has a delightful sense of humor.

2. X-Men: Days Of Future Past
Following the release of X-Men: First Class, it became apparent that the newer, younger cast was great, but it also became apparent that fans missuture Past dictate thpast self, which was a wise decision for plot, because it allowed Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to be the focus of the movie. With unforgettable action set pieces and fan-pleasing chs up there with the best of the MCU.
1. Logan
After one bitter disappointment followed by a slightly better sequel, there was little hope for Wolverine’s solo threequel. The third movie is always the worst and Wolverine hadn’t e
